I bought an old tractor all dusty and worn
know nothing about it just the year it was born
but I'll wash it and grease it and pain it red
and it will live happily right here in my shed.

Thanks for your visits, comments and favs!!
Have a fantastic weekend!!
I only had this partial truck, so I decided to go with this rusty tractor for HTT. I thought it was neat because it has a roll cage. The farmer must have wanted to be a race car driver.
This is a White Farm Equipment Tractor. Since I had never run across one of these, I looked up the company.
“In 1969, Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline and Cockshutt were merged to form White Farm Equipment with headquarters in Oak Brook, Illinois.
In 1975, Oliver, Minneapolis-Moline and Cockshutt were folded into the White brand. The green of Oliver, red of Cockshutt and yellow of Minneapolis-Moline tractors was replaced by the silver tractors of White's Field Boss line.
The agriculture market hit a severe recession in the early 1980s, and TIC sold WFE to Allied Products.” - Wikipedia
So from what I can determine this tractor is a 1975 to early 1980’s model. It is starting to show some age and a bit of rust.
This 19403 tractor is postioned in the village of Thirlby by the ford at the river. It rarely never moves other going to shows but the local farmer starts up every other day and it works as new. Things were made to last back then.
A few weeks ago the farmers were very busy because of the harvest time. When I was driving home I saw this Tractor and thought this could be a nice picture :-)

By my count, there are 5 vintage tractors in here, along with one used-up golf cart and a possible lawn mower. As I was photographing the saddle (next picture), I said to the farmer, who was sitting nearby, "you got a lot of old tractors in there, it made a great picture." He laughed and said, "that's not all of them!" Evidently old tractors don't die, they just go to this guy's barn.
This shot took a little effort. Initially, the ISO was too high. But I wanted deep depth of field, so I had to keep the f/stop high. So I relied on my new monopod to give me some steadiness, and took the shutter speed down to 1/15th. That got the ISO down to a more manageable 7200. Finally, I passed it through Topaz Photo AI to deal with the noise and sharpening. It kinda came out as I envisioned it.

Far better known for their tracked vehicles, The Cleveland Tractor Company also produced a wheeled tractor, The General, of which this is the tricycle row-crop version. The General was introduced in 1939 but in 1941 the model was taken over by B.F. Avery and then by Oliver in 1944.

Since the year 1964, Schlüter was specialized in tractors of the upper power range. At that time, that meant engines till 320 hp. Quite an exception in that era were tractors which obtained four tires of the same size, represented by the Super Trac series. The Profi Trac series were equipped with four equally sized tires, mounted on two steerable axles instead of just one. The rear axle of this Profi Trac tractors could steer in the opposite or same direction as the front axle, as well as steering not at all. In 1978, a unique specimen was built, the so-called Profi Trac 5000 TVL with 500 hp. At its appearance, it was regarded as the most powerful tractor of entire Europe. Later on, 184 Euro Trac were built, until the Schlüter company went bankrupt.

More work on the farm, this time collecting the grass to be taken away to become silage for the winter months. Watching these two tractors and drivers working together with perfect timing was fascinating. One is picking up the cut grass and depositing it into the moving trailer via the straw blower. As one trailer filled up another was on hand, attached to another tractor to take its place so there was no slowing down of the process. I can think of worse ways to spend a spring evening.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
